Variation of Metal Contents in Tea Plants Around oil Installation, Assam

R. Kotoky, S. C. Nath, S. Kalita

Abstract :

The metal content in root, stem and leaves of the tea plants indicate higher association of Cu, Cr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn and Fe in roots, whereas, Na, K, Ca, Mg and Co were found in higher proportion in leaves of plants. Almost equal proportion of Cu, Zn and Co was observed in stem and leaves of plant. The higher association in root can be explained as the effect of restrictive translocation of metals retained by the cell walls. A portion of the higher association of metal content in leaves can be considered as the effect of aerosols because of non– stop flå activities at the sites of oil installation.
